Although some of the unons within aviation maybe considered as a fraction of the voting public, the families and friends of those employees affected also count as voters (which does raise the numbers a little).
I will not be voting for a government that has shown little support to working Australians over the last 2 years, but I will also not vote for a government who I do not trust to keep "Workchoices" dead and buried.
What is the viable voting alternative here to give power to a government who will look after jobs in Australia whilst maintaining a fair balance between the employer and employee? This seems to be the main issue, and I see no clear avenue.
